An online workshop to update the community on CRESCENT CVM goals and broaden the participation of/interaction with the Cascadia-focused research community. The workshop will include presentations and discussions on existing velocity models, velocity model creation workflows, model validation techniques, and uses of velocity models by various sub-disciplines and communities to further research agendas. We look to solicit feedback and create potential collaborations that can contribute to the success of the CRESCENT CVM by learning from prior experiences and better understanding community needs, uses, considerations, and potential pitfalls.

The purpose of the CRESCENT Kickoff Meeting was to review the center’s plans as a community and to make recommendations for adjustments as necessary, based on participant input and recent advances in the field. The panoply of breakouts set forth in the agenda were organized mostly around the Science Working Groups, with the aim of discussing the specific Science, Geoscience Education and Inclusion, and Partnerships & Applications contributions for each Working Group. Participants also learned about the Special Interest Groups (SIGs), which can be conceptualized as “proto-working groups”, representing activities recognized as important, but beyond the scope of full research funding in this first five year iteration of this center.
